I have a few (internal) web pages like that at work, they do the job but yes they are ugly

Have you ever seen HTML without CSS? It’s ugly as hell

I think the better comparison (whether that’s technically accurate or not) is to HTML + CSS + JS. Which is overly complicated for just small blogs and personal webpages etc. I think that’s the “issue” Gemini is trying to solve.

I grew up using macos, still use it on my work laptop, and use elementary os on my home machine. For the most part, it’s great. I like

• The intuitive UX and the clean, consistent and beautiful UI
• Good default apps and settings
• Flatpak out of the box, no snap bullshit.
• Generally you can get away with quite a bit without resorting to the terminal

Unfortuntalely, there are a few big issues with it, mostly due to the small number of developers

• Updating the OS to a new major version (that they release every 1-2 years) is a hassle, there is no direct way to do distro-update like on ubuntu for example
• The mail and calendar apps don’t support Oauth, and by now, google doesn’t seem to support password+IMAP anymore. So no google calendar or mail integration. Also a hassle to set up anything that uses Oauth by default.

If those aren’t dealbreakers, I can recommend eos. But do check out the other options as well.

It is really easy to mirror git repos though, which makes this less of an issue than most other monopolies

Gamers are a bit more tech savvy than average people tho

The other option is that anybody who recommends Lemmy, actually just recommends an instance. Make an account on examplelemmyserver.org and download the app XYZ should be the go-to recommendation. Not ”there are so many cool options”.

Git repo that I sync with my raspberry pi. You never know if some of the dotfiles contain sensitive info so I like to keep them on machines that only I can access

Nikotin ist natürlich nicht harmlos, aber Rauchen ist extrem ungesund (10 jahre kürzere lebenserwartung). So einen Effekt hat Nikotin nicht.

https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats&months=48 The monthly stats don’t look too bad to me. The yearly stats are meaningless.

I’m not sure if the centralization is worse than the large portion of users on the large servers who joining copies of established communities on their own instances. Also, from my other reply:

It would force you to write a more descriptive name. Maybe we want to hide by community title and not the handle though.

Say you want to have a community for memes. It is terrible UX if you just see seven different “memes@domainname.ending” in the result. So with an opinionated search, you instead name your community Sopuli Memes, Solarpunk Memes, Programming Memes etc., or just Funny Memes Archive, and they would not be hidden.

IMO, a more opionate search would fix this. Just recommend the most active community and show the others in gray.

There’s a million easier ways to claim the German unemployment money than that

A Git history would be quite an easy way to show that you are doing something regularly.

I just keep checking if it’s done every 1-2 minutes by tasting it

I only work once, then copy that work everywhere.

Good that works for you. If only my needs were so simple that the configs could be same on each machine.

So you’re willing to do a lot of manual package managing, in general put a lot of work into optimizing your workflow, adjusting to different package availability, adjusting to different operating systems…

…but not writing two different configs?

That is your prerogative but you’re not convincing me. Though I don’t think I’ll be convincing you either.

I have separate configs/aliases/etc for most of my machines just because, well, they are different machines with different hardware, software, data, operating systems and purposes. Even for those (most) that I can easily install fish on.

those scripts not always work

This feels like ragebait. I have multiple devices, use fish whenever that can be installed and zsh/bash when not, and have none of these issues.

EDIT:

or some methods to jump to most recent directory like z.

Manually downloading the same shell scripts on every machine is just doing what the package manager is supposed to do for you. I did this once to get some rust utils like eza to get them to work without sudo. It’s terrible.
